The basic research seems sketchy. You send however many students out, what is the framing you're giving them for doing the rating? What are their own current biases or likely statistical ones considering their current training / p

Sorry, but that just doesn't make any sense to me. Practically 70% seems like enough to understand most narrative. I've read some really difficult texts (translated German theology) and for anything of meaningful complexity 98% is

Interrupting them is what pushes them to push quality code not just throw it over to ops and hope for the best. It works quite well with deployment velocities that would shock even normal devops shops.

Running without ADS-B around major airports would be unacceptable. I think drones are going to be required to have them before 2020 which makes me think that isn't quite right.

How many bit of entropy are in a credit card? I ran the numbers a few years ago but don't remember now. Well within a very small rainbow table in any case.

This was a while ago too but I used AWS support and the Loft extensively to try to bang out what actually worked. Most of my stuff was pretty simple and I was a one person ops team so it was "good enough". I would not try to make

Actually you don't or else you break the whole scaling / immutability model. I'm talking from production experience here. I ended up moving to OpsWorks and the level of abstraction worked better for me then.

Until you need to do one thing outside the Beanstalk pattern, then you're dealing with CloudFormation templates all the time.

I'm not sure if / how that's integrated into encrypted disk nor how prevalent having a TPM like chip is. TrustZone has had a lot of vulnerabilities.

Yes, some of us have been doing this for a long time.

Without hardware keystore for the key encryption key it's sort of pointless as you can extract and brute force with any PBKDF2 round count that will be acceptable for a mobile user.

Hope all the trust in the government never getting it wrong works out for you. For me and mine, we'll be doing our best to hold them accountable.

I've been joking that Kubernetes and gRPC are really to seed the startup ecosystem to make companies easier to acquire, interesting to read that here.

Though I'm not sure it's even worth trying to bring up in the opinion filled noise of these threads, there is no way to secure current generation mobile devices sufficiently to withstand nation-state attackers. Full stop. The proc

So, universe does not include Google? Burn karma burn. =)

by mentat 11y ago
I'm not sure how you can seriously say that given the designers and the internal use at Google. But perhaps the universe excludes Google, they're too far ahead anyway.

I think the concern may be that the total space of hashes for valid email addresses, especially ranked by domain usage, is small enough that SHA hashing doesn't meaningfully obscure content. From the article: Hash It! The first instinc
